Well, as Buck Showalter might say, our curiousity was satisfied. When the lineup came out yesterday, we found out that new Orioles outfielder Gerardo Parra was batting second and Manny Machado first.
For one game, that sure worked fine in a 6-2 win over Detroit, and there may be no reason to change that for a while. Parra went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored.
Parra had good numbers for Milwaukee when batting both first and second:
Parra at leadoff: .384/.432/.632 in 31 games....
